Techstars NY Announces Inaugural Class

For those who are keeping track, that means one more company slipped in than was originally planned.

It’s an interesting range of companies. Two companies have yet to write a single line of code, four have raised some funds already, one is generating a lot of revenue and another two are actually profitable.

“This definitely skews towards much later stage companies than Techstars is known for working with,” says managing director David Tisch. “We’ve been so happy and impressed that these companies see value in working with Techstars and the mentors we’ve brought together.”

Techstars will help the early stage companies to form their identity and figure our their business model. For the later stage firms, they will work on helping them to focus and scale. “We’re in the business of getting our companies funded by other people,” says Tisch.
